what's your favorite way to make tuna sandwiches?
Do you butter the bread?
Do you use mayo, or miracle whip or ?
What kind of pickles? (If any)
Extras?
Do tell.
I used to get tuna salad sand at a coffee house -- they were delicious and included things I would never think to use at home: diced green apple, some mustard, capers, diced red onion. Delicious.
At home I use simply Best Foods/Hellman's mayo, lots of dill weed, and diced dill pickles. I sometimes add finely diced celery, or thin slices of cucumber. Sometimes lettuce.
Of course, bread is key. I like tuna on rye or on good nutty whole wheat. I also think a hamburger bun is fine! What about you?
My mother used to butter the bread, and once in a while she would add chopped hard-cooked egg which I detested with tuna.

On white bread, salt and lots of pepper a must, with a slice of processed american cheese.
Yum!
Scooped on those small rye bread squares, topped with a black olive slice or two. 
I think open-faced is the traditonal tuna melt preparation. I guess mine is more "grilled cheese with a tuna twist." 
Always with my homemade, hand kneaded, whole wheat bread:
Tuna, mayo, canned pimentoes and mushrooms with sliced tomatoes and red tip lettuce;
Tuna, diced celery, apples and pecans on a bed or lettuce for a salad or sandwich;
Tuna, hard boiled eggs, pickle relish, mayo, Lawry's pepper and Spike, on lettuce or in a sandwich.
Later took to eliminating the bread and putting the sandwich ingredients into a roll of large leaf lettuce. And some nice alfalfa sprouts would be a winner, too.
yummy.
Mine is made with sweet salad cubes (or I slice gherkins, like the Obama's do 
<<---when I'm not too lazy) mayonnaise, sea salt, pepper (lil bit) celery, pinch of curry and viola!!
I use dulse flakes for fishy taste, mashed garbanzo beans and Vegannaise! (And FRESH dill, garlic, celery, and carrots.)
